While helmet safety is regulated (DOT or SNELL), helmet size is far from standard and varies from brand to brand. The charts below are provided from each manufacturer as a reference when purchasing a helmet. Use the provided measuring tape or use a string to obtain an accurate measurement of your head before selecting a helmet size. |
